NEW YORK, N. Y.
NON-REFILLABLE BOTTLE.
NO. 870,401. Specification of Application filed April 5. 1
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, AUeUs'r WIGKE, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the county and State of I New York, have invented a new and Improved Non- Refillable Bottle, of which thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact description.
This invention relates to certain improvements in bottles and more particularly to means whereby the bottle, after having once been filled and emptied, cannot be refilled.
My improved device is designed for use in connection with any ordinary form of bottle and may be readily applied thereto, thus rendering the device capable of more universal use, and serving to provide a construction exceedingly simple and inexpensive.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.
Figure 1 is a central, longitudinal section through a bottle provided with my improved form of closure; Fig. 2 is a view similar to Fig. l but showing the parts in the position occupied while the bottle is being emptied; and Figs. 3 and 4 are transverse sections on the lines 33 and 44 respectively, of Fig. 1.
To illustrate the construction and operation of my device I have shown it as applied to a common form of bottle 10 having a cylindrical neck portion 11. Within this neck portion and intermediate the ends thereof I provide a closure comprising two telescoping bottle-neck and is held in place thereby, while the other is movable in respect to the first-mentioned portion and serves to control the flow of liquid therethrough. The first-mentioned portion preferably comprises an annular body 12 of cork, rubber or other suitable ma terial, and frictionally engaging with the walls of the bottle-neck. The passage through the center of the annular member is preferably conical, and the passage is provided with a lining 13 of glass, metal or other suitable material. The conical passage through the annular member is preferably of greater diameter at its outer end than at its inner end and within this passage is supported the second or inner portion of the closure. In the specific form illustrated in the drawings this portion is formed cup-shaped and has thin, outwardly-diverging conical walls 14, and a bottom or end wall 15. This cupshaped portion is of such diameter at its outer or larger end that it will become seated within the conical lining of the outer portion, as is clearly indicated in Fig. 1. Adjacent the bottom 15 I provide outwardly-extending lugs or projections- Letters Patent.

16 having a maximum diameter greater than the smallest diameter of the axial passage of the annular member. The inner or cup-shaped member is free to move in one direction until it seats in engagement with the conical lining 13 and may move in the opposite direction until the lugs 16 engage with the inner end of the annular member 12. As will be noted, the bottle-neck is effectively closed while the cup is in the first-mentioned position, and liquid may readily flow from the bottle when the cup is in the last-mentioned position. For insuring the proper movement of the cup I provide two small balls, one of which normally lies within the cup, and the other within the body of the bottle. The larger ball 17 within the body of the bottle serves to engage with a small projection 18 on the bottom of the cup and push the latter into its open position when the bottle is inverted, and the smaller ball 19 drops within the cup and aided by gravity serves to force the cup into its closed position when the bottle is upright.
For preventing any one from breaking, injuring or displacing the closure above described I provide a diaphragm 20 having perforations 21 adjacent its outer edge and provided with a downwardly-extending flange 22 adapted to be cemented or otherwise permanently secured within the neck of the bottle. This diaphragm may belocated at the bottle mouth, or-if desired, may be located as indicated in the drawings, at a short distance inside, whereby a suitable cork 23 may be inserted in the bottle mouth to seal the latter.
during shipment or storage.
To facilitate the rapid emptying of the bottle I provide an air-tube 24 extending through the annular body 12 and having one end terminating intermediate the diaphragm and the said annular body, the other end terminating closely adjacent the bottom of the bottle at one side thereof. In pouring from the bottle it is inclined so that the airtube 24 will lie at the upper side and the air entering through certain of the perforations in the diaphragm 20 may readily pass upward through the tube and permit a more uniform flow of liquid through the annular space between the cup and its surrounding seat.
. Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:
1. A closure for bottles, comprising an annular body adapted to be held within the bottle neck by frictional engagement therewith, a conical lining for the passage of said body, a substantially coneshaped cup adapted to seat within said passage and close the same, projections at the smaller end of said cup for limiting the outward movement thereof, and a weight adapted to engage with the bottom of said cup for forcing the latter into place.
2. A bottle having a. perforated diaphragm adjacent the mouth thereof, and a closure within the neck thereof, said and an air-tube extending from the bottom of the bottle closure comprising an annular body held in place by a through the annular body at one side of the main passage frictional engagement with the walls of thebottle neck therethrough. and having a centrally disposed passage through the In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this 5 same, a cone-shaped lining for said passage, a cone-shaped specification in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses. 15
